Polka dots are still popular this season

Polka dots are still popular this season. I am really pleased I purchased this navy polka dot blouse last year. I like the way it is quirky yet feminine. It stands on its own as a statement piece and also looks good under a coat or jacket. I have even worn it peaking out of a V neck sweater.

These photos were taken last September by Julie of Jafinthebox . Back then I styled my polka dot blouse with dark navy trousers and my MeandEm leather biker jacket.

My blouse is still available at Finery (reduced in the sale from £89 to £44 but only small sizes left). This season they are offering the same style in black and ivory.

My polka dot blouse will look equally good teamed with white jeans for the summer.

Etsy has some fun polka dot scarves if you fancy just a touch of “the spots”.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

Polka dots (and stripes) are the only “patterns” I enjoy wearing so good news that they are still around. In the 1980s I had a very dramatic black with small white polka dot dress, full very swishy skirt and de rigeur shoulder pads which I wore with black patent stilettos. I so loved strutting around in it!

Always have polka dots in the wardrobe: blouse, little jacket, dress and two scarves! It’ s cold at the moment and I’ve brightened up my long black dress with the above jacket. Always feel cheerful in polka dots. No wonder you are smiling, Josephine!
